Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United: David de Gea denies Jurgen Klopp's side as Jose Mourinho makes his point at Anfield

This was classic Jose Mourinho. He knew this was a game he and Manchester United could not afford to lose then made sure they did not do so.
For that he can thank a sterling second half defensive effort and the only certified world class player at the club before his arrival, David de Gea. The United keeper made two saves of high quality to deny Emre Can and Philippe Coutinho respectively in the second half that proved vital.
Jurgen Klopp will be frustrated by his side's failure to score and perhaps their visitors' approach but there was no lack of endeavour from his side.
